tits somewhatexpensive to prepare
the ground at first, but it is by far
the most economical and will repay
its cost In two years, it requires no
further care or trouble. The water
is simply turned on at the proper
time, and turned off again without
the extremely Dnpleasantexperience
of surface flooding. With this pro-
cess there's sufficient flowing water
in Southern Arizona to irrirate
every acre of tillable soil clear down
to the Mexican boundary line. 1t
is certainly the only proper aud
economical process, and we would
be glad to seeit universally adopted.
Mr.. Spurge on, of this city, has
for some years practiced this
method of irrigation with the best
possible results. He laid wooden
boxes under ground, perforated
with holes, and found that a very
small amount of water kept the
ground moist around the roots and
everything furnished, while the
ground appeared dry on top.

stock Yards for Carson

There is considerab talk of late
regarding stock yards for Carson
The country back of Carson is filing
up with cattle. and the raisers be-
tween here and Mono county. up
through Carson Valley, Hope Val
ley, Mason Valley and other points,
have to drive their herds u long
distance to Reno to get them on
the c. p. line. 1t is now proposed
to erect stock yards near Major
Gardeners where the side track runs
to the fume. 1t is estimated that
the loss in weight on stock driven
from here to Reno would pay the
freight. This will bring great
many cattle men here, and result In
an increase Of business to this

BILE to arrangements made at this and former
meetings of the present and also of the pre-
ceding Board, considerable extension in
English school work may be expected after

A New Building

The contract for the erection of fine
building on Hotel street, on what is known
as the @. Brewer estate, has been taken by
Mr.. George Lucas. Five tenders were in, of
which Mr.. Lucas was the lowest, The plans
of the proposed building were exhibited to a
GAZETTE representative yesterday. As out
lined on paper, the building will present a
splendid appearance. 1t will front 140 feet
on Hotel street, 4015 feet deep, and
will be two stories high. The material
will be brick, with front of pressed
brick. The lower fiat is divided into
five parts, intended for the same number of
stores. Under each of these divisions will
be good cellar. In the second fiat there
will be parlors and rooms, which, with a
kitchen to be added in the rear, are intended
to make this part of the building suitable
for hotel. The upper story will have good
verandahs and awnings, which contribute
considerably to the imposing appearance of
the whole front. The building will be fitted
throughout with all the modern improve
ments. The contract figures are S26, 2l6, and
1t Is expected to be completed within the
next six months.

The situation, as regards business, remains
very much the same as during the previous
week if anything, trade is quieter. The
coasting trade is maintained mostly by car
rying supplies to the plantations. The sugar
cargoes from the islands are becoming light,
and will probably continue so until the new
crop will begin to move.
X. G. Dunn & Co. have issued circular
showing the business failures for the first
half of the year 1887 compared with the
similar periods in 1886 and 1885. The total
number of failures i'll the United States
during the past SIX months were 1912, with
liabilities amounting to sos. 13S, G92, against
5,156 failures and $50, 4S4, 460 liabilities for
